Message
(Message from Hiroshi Kaneko, the managing patent attorney) When I once worked in a venture business, explaining how my company thinks to patent attorneys in order to obtain patent and trademark rights effectively was a hard job. As I am now in the opposite side as a patent attorney, I shall pay special attentions to understand how my clients thinks.

When your business develops, the name of product(s) and/or the logo mark of a company will become famous. "Trademark registration" protects the trust accompanying what became famous.

If trademark registration is received at an early stage and it is made famous by your own use, the trust will be protected certainly.
